Why KiberShkola

Everything Kids Need to Succeed in Tech

Our programs are designed by IT professionals and educators to make learning coding genuinely exciting for young minds.

Hands-On Learning

Every day children build real projects — websites, games, and scripts they can show to friends and family. No theory-only lectures.

Small Group Sizes

Maximum 12 students per group ensures every child gets personalized attention from experienced mentors throughout the program.

Expert Mentors

Our instructors are active IT professionals — developers, designers, and engineers who love working with young learners.

Holiday Timing

Programs run during school holidays — winter, spring, summer, and autumn breaks — so learning never clashes with school.

Age-Appropriate Curriculum

Courses are tailored by age group (9–11, 12–14, 14–16) so content is always at the right level — challenging but achievable.

Certificate of Completion

Every graduate receives a KiberShkola digital certificate and a portfolio project they built during the program week.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything parents typically want to know about our programs before enrolling their child.

No prior experience is required for our beginner programs (Web-Start and Python Basics). Our Game Development program also accommodates all levels. Each course starts from absolute basics and progresses at a comfortable pace.

We accept children aged 9 to 16. Different programs are optimized for different age ranges: Game Development (9–16), Web-Start (10–14), and Python Basics (11–15). All groups are small — maximum 12 students.

Each day runs from 10:00 to 16:00 with breaks. Morning sessions introduce new concepts with guided exercises; afternoon sessions are project-building time with mentor support. Every Friday is Demo Day — kids present their finished projects!

We provide all necessary equipment. Children can bring their own laptop if they prefer (Windows or Mac), but it's not required. All software is free and browser-based where possible.

KiberSmena sessions are held at our partner learning centers in central Moscow. Exact venue details are shared upon enrollment confirmation. Public transport links are always provided.

The interview is a relaxed, friendly 15-minute online chat between a KiberShkola mentor and your child (parents are welcome to join). We simply want to understand your child's interests and experience level to place them in the perfect group.
